Chapter 477 Fox Fur
Chapter 477 Fox Fur
"Mother!" Mo Jiangli knelt down and bowed deeply when he saw Chu Qingmeng. "Son greets mother!"
"Get up, get up..." Chu Qingmeng was startled by his sudden courtesy. "Are you completely well? Are you really doing such a big courtesy?"
"Alright, alright. Thank you for your concern, mother." Mo Jiangli helped Chu Qingmeng to the main seat, and only spoke again after he sat down himself. "Mother, it's winter now, and I know you're afraid of the cold. Some time ago, one of my men returned from the northwest with a rare white fox fur. I thought you might like it, so I asked someone to make a cloak for you. Take a look, do you like it?"
"..." Chu Qingmeng's hand paused for a moment, and he smiled at the cloak that Yu Yi presented. "It's indeed rare. But a few days ago, your father sent two mink fur cloaks. Since winter has come, the mansion has also made some fur goods. It's really that I don't go out on weekdays, and I have too many of these things. It would be a waste to keep them."
"Mother, this is my son's intention." Mo Jiangli looked at Chu Qingmeng, with no concealment of the intimacy in his eyes.
"Okay." Chu Qingmeng refused to argue any further and waved Chunhe away, letting her take the snow-white cloak. She didn't want to accept it, and even if she did, she couldn't wear it. She was afraid her father would beat her to death if he saw the white fox fur.
After Mo Jiangli left, Chu Qingmeng looked at the fox fur cloak on the table and felt a little amused.
"Why are you daydreaming?" Mo Liujin came in and saw Chu Qingmeng staring at the leather on the tray in a daze.
"Fox fur cloak. White fox fur." Chu Qingmeng looked at Mo Liujin helplessly, with a mixture of laughter and tears in his eyes.
Mo Liujin was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud after realizing what was happening. "Chunhe, put it away. Lengfeng, tell the housekeeper not to use fox fur in the mansion anymore."
"It was sent by Jiang Li. It's not necessary to do this. It's fine if I'm the only one who doesn't need it." Actually, when she and Mo Liujin first met, he had given her a silver-white fox fur cloak, which she loved. But even though she loved it, a slight grudge had formed in her heart since her memories returned.
"You'll always feel awkward seeing them, so why not use them at all? Besides, there's more than just this kind of fur." Mo Liujin held her in his arms as they walked towards the main courtyard. "But with winter approaching, you'll still need these things to keep warm. The warm room in the mansion has been renovated. If you're really afraid of the cold, we can move in."
"Yeah, that's fine." Chu Qingmeng nodded. She hadn't seen her father for two months. Ever since she gave the pill to Jiang Li, her father no longer gave the pill to Quan Si. So, only a pill would be stuffed into her mouth every time they met.
In the past two months, without the support of elixirs, although her body was fine, she became more and more afraid of the cold.
Because Mo Liujin ordered that fox furs were not allowed to be used in the mansion anymore, the housekeeper collected all the fox furs that had been selected from each courtyard and replaced them with mink furs, which were then sent to each courtyard for selection.
Luotang Courtyard.
"Oh!"
As the sound of porcelain shattered, Dong Mingzhu became more and more hysterical. "It's been so long! Brother Che just won't enter my yard and won't let me out! What do I have to do to make him see the good in me?!"
Her personal maid Qiao Yue hurried forward to comfort her, "Miss, don't worry. You can write a letter to the Grand Tutor. With the Grand Tutor's pressure, the Master will definitely come to the courtyard. Besides, Miss is stunningly beautiful. Once they meet, the Master will definitely soften his heart."
The person who knew Dong Mingzhu best was Qiao Yue. She calmed her down with just a few words, and the other servants in the room all breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon hearing this, Dong Mingzhu hurriedly sat down at the desk, picked up her pen and began to write a letter to Grand Tutor Dong.
Outside the house, the servants brought in the remaining mink furs from the masters of the mansion. "Madam Dong, please choose from these mink furs."
Dong Mingzhu paused, her eyes filled with confusion. "Didn't we just pick out fox fur yesterday? Why are mink furs being sent to you now?"
"My dear aunt, the general has just issued an order that fox furs are no longer allowed in the palace, so he has replaced them with mink furs for the ladies in each courtyard to choose from."
Dong Mingzhu immediately became furious again. "What? Is the General's Mansion this poor?! I finally picked out a piece of leather I liked yesterday, but today you won't let me use it. Are you afraid that I'll use something from the General's Mansion?!"
"Get out! Get out! My Dong family doesn't lack these little things! Aren't they just some furs? I have plenty of them!" After saying that, he asked the people in his yard to drive them out without thinking twice.
In order to help her get married into the family and suffer less hardship, Grand Tutor Dong not only gave her a dowry of over a hundred pieces of money, but also gave her the same people in his courtyard who usually followed her in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
After driving away the servants from the General's Mansion, Dong Mingzhu grew increasingly angry. She simply asked Qiao Yun to find a piece of fine fox fur from her dowry to make a cloak. It would be okay if she didn't use anything from the General's Mansion, right?!
Qiao Yue's eyes flashed, but she didn't say anything in the end. Well, she decided not to try to persuade her, lest she take her anger out on herself.
The General's Mansion is not allowed to use fox fur. It is definitely not as my young lady said. There must be other reasons. The young lady is so impulsive that she will sooner or later make the master unhappy.
But she knew the young lady's thoughts best. If she tried to persuade her at this juncture, she would not only not listen but would even suspect she was being bribed. Forget it, just keep quiet.
